I'm so sorry, I shouldn't be laughing but...

Linux doesn't run .exe files. It's a different operating system. In fact, there is no separate format for executable files in Linux. Anything with execute permissions is allowed to 'run.'
There is no Linux version of MSN Messenger. You'll need to use something like aMSN or Gaim.

lol it's ok if you laugh im still learning, im using Kopete for msn, but i can't get to change the permissions on the files or folders so i can't save anything, do i have to change the permissions on windows to be able to write in them??

double you tea eff, i think my version of linux is messed up
i tried compiling with gcc didn't work tried the which command on cc, gcc and c++ they dont even exist
oh btw take a look at this aMSN they said it's msn for linux and stuff like that

one more question.... sorry guys just trying to learn what im looking at... so there is mac it's used mostly for graphics/design, windows is used for basic use, and linux is used for administrating, but when i was downloading linux there was another package called linux server pro or someting like that so what's the linux that i have used for
